Chapter 120 Against the Philadelphia 76ers
At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon on April 1st, the Grizzlies played against the Philadelphia 3ers at home.

After the interview and warm-up, the whistle sounded, and the players from both sides officially debuted.

The starting lineup of the Philadelphia 76ers is, point guard: Iverson, shooting guard: Iguodala, small forward: Korver, power forward: Chris Webber, center: Samuel Dalembert.

The Grizzlies used Nelson's pre-match research to deploy a starting lineup of Atkins + Jones + Yang Zhan + Gasol + Chakalidis.

The game between the two sides officially started, Chakalidis succeeded in jumping the ball, and the Grizzlies got the first chance to attack.

Yang Zhan held the ball across halftime and looked at the 1-meter Iverson with an indescribable idea. He took the ball to a 83° angle on the left, and then Yang Zhan asked his teammates to open the singles.

Looking at Iverson in front of him, Yang Zhan feels that his height may not necessarily be 1 meters, and because of height restrictions, Iverson is also a player who likes to gamble and steal on the defensive end.

Tall point guards like Yang Zhan are his favorite steals, and Yang Zhan has obviously done his homework.

You are not given a chance to steal the ball at all, and you directly start high-post play. Iverson, a player of height and weight, was repeatedly lost by Yang Zhanding.

In the position of complete ejection, he turned and leaned back to shoot a jumper. Although Yang Zhan's figure is also thin, but his height, wingspan and waist bounce are really not worthy of the picturesque, but the result is. Smash!Easy hit.

Conversely, Iverson also wanted to play Yang Zhan, but when he took the ball to the frontcourt, he found that the person in front of him had become Atkins.

And Yang Zhan has already gone to switch to defend Korver. This is Nelson's arrangement before the game. Although Nelson believes that Atkins, a speedy player, cannot defend Iverson, it is better than Yang Zhan being treated like a fool.

Sure enough, Iverson looked at Atkins in front of him, changed direction significantly in advance, and swayed from left to right. The moment Atkins lost his position, Iverson wiped him clean.

Facing the Grizzlies' 2m inside Chakalidis, he jumped up and pulled the bar for a layup, avoiding the blocked basketball and hitting the net.

Yang Zhan, who was still walking behind Korver's buttocks, saw how handsome Iverson's maneuver was. At the same time, Yang Zhan also found that the power was not strong, but the bounce was really high.

But turning around, Yang Zhan hit Iverson with his back again. This time, the opponent started a gambling steal. Yang Zhan turned around and then made a mid-range jumper to make an open shot. The ball went steadily into the basket.

And Atkins really can't guard against Iverson, but even if Iverson's breakthrough is strong, you have to make a series of moves to get past Atkins.

Looking at the offense of the Grizzlies, it is much simpler. As soon as the ball was given to Yang Zhan, there was nothing to say but a back hit here.

About 5 minutes into the game, Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks called a timeout. At this time, the score of the two sides was 13 to 7, and the Philadelphia team fell behind by 6 points.

Among them, the Philadelphia team scored 5 points by Iverson in his own singles. The timeout ended and the players from both sides played again.

The Philadelphia players did not change, while the Grizzlies point guard left Atkins and replaced him with Monta Ellis.

The Grizzlies took the lead, and Yang Zhan once again held the ball across the half, but at this time Yang Zhan found that the player blocking him had changed from Iverson to Iguodala.

At this time, Iguodala was not the first brother who won the FMVP in the finals, and now his title is still called Xiaoai.

However, this defensive skill and this power have already taken shape in the future, and Yang Zhan's biggest advantage at other times is stability when he is not playing and at critical moments.

You send Iguodala to defend me, can't I pass Gasol, Yang Zhan lobs Gasol to the low post.

If we say that in his peak period, Chris Webber could do a little bit on the defensive end, but now he only has the offense. Gasol pushed Webber twice and lost his position. Gasol seized the opportunity to turn around and make a layup.

It's Philadelphia's turn to attack, and Iverson should not be too easy when facing a rookie like Ellis who has no speed.

But as soon as he broke through to the free throw line, he was blocked by teammate Chris Webber before being defended by the Grizzlies.

This made Iverson very angry, because this breakthrough attack was directly disrupted, but he still couldn't say anything.

Because the head coach Maurice Cheeks had already said in the last timeout, give the ball to Chris Webber to organize.

This is also the main reason why Iverson was reported to be at odds with the head coach this year, but since Philadelphia ushered in the addition of Chris Webber, Iverson's tactical status has plummeted.

In the end, Cheeks directly let Iverson play off the ball and let Webber be the core of the team's tactics.

For a player with Iverson's character, this undoubtedly touched his bottom line, because in his eyes, his ability to hold the ball is not only the first in history, but also must be in the top three in history.

But in order to win, Iverson stepped back beyond the three-point line and lobbed the ball to Chris Webber who was supporting the free throw line.

Although the latter is old, he is still the power forward with the most gorgeous offense. Facing Gasol Webber, he used a point guard-style dribble behind Gasol and passed Gasol in one step.

When Chakalidis came to defend, a direct pass was stuffed into the arms of Samuel Dalembert, who dunked against an empty basket.

Here, Gasol seemed very unconvinced when an old car passed by, and he dribbled the same behind the back, and then threw the basketball into the air. The 2-meter Chakalidis plucked green onions in the penalty area, and dunked with both hands after receiving the ball.

Boom, beep!The referee whistles, 2+1.

The fans cheered enthusiastically, and the latter also seemed a little excited when he dunked, and ran over to collide with Gasol.

After all, his status in the team is not as good as that of White, and it is really not easy to have such a wonderful goal.

I don't know whether it was because of emotion or some kind of free throw that missed the rebound and was taken off by Webb. The latter immediately passed it to the outside. After receiving the ball, Iverson immediately sped up and ran forward.

Iverson, who was attacking the frontcourt, looked at Ellis who was chasing after him, and threw the ball to Iguodala, who was following up on the right. The latter took off with all his strength and jumped high.

And Yang Zhan had just run halfway through at this time, and he swear to God at this time, he really went after him with all his strength.

But Iguodala's explosive power is like that of a big Harley. How can you let Yang Zhan chase this broken bicycle?
Even Yang Zhan estimates that with his current speed base, even if he has fully trained as a hat chasing master④, he will not be able to catch up with Iguodala who is advancing at full speed.

Since Cheeks replaced Iguodala's Young War, the Grizzlies' offense began to favor Gasol.

Yang Zhan didn't care about this at all, because the score on the field was always the Grizzlies' lead, and Yang Zhan could also defend Korver harder when defending.

Korver is a player Yang Zhan knows very well. His movement speed is not very strong, and his running position is not very good, but he is really accurate, so Yang Zhan does not give him a chance to connect the ball when defending.

This made Korver once think that Yang Zhan was angry when he was attacking Iguodala, and now he is spreading the fire on him.

If Yang Zhan knew it, he would yell for injustice, you are just like Yuxuan's idol Jay Chou.
